On C-Span now . . . applause seems really light

As usual, Shrub hasn't said a damn thing, and the folks
in the room know it, even though they're there for a Repug pep rally!

1. SOS, as if he's still runnin' for office.

For six years I've watched him look down and keep lookin' time after time to read off of his scripted speech.
To me, that only means that inside his self he doesn't believe in what he says. But, he is slick in the way he flips his pages over, though.

Did you notice the REPUBLICAN MAJORITY banner hanging behind him?

Those folks are in some serious denial.

Welcome to DU.

2. Thanks

I was just amazed at the initial applause, which seemed
really forced, like Rove was the only one applauding.
